THE SECOND SCHOOL SOCIETY of Grauby came into 
existence by virtue of an act passed by the General 
Assembly of Connecticut at its May session in 1795, the 
essential paragraphs of which were as follows: 

An Act appropriating the Monies which shall arise on the sale 
of the Western Lands, belonging to this State. 

Be it enacted by the Governor and Council, and House of 
Representatives, in General Court assembled, That the principal 
sum, which shall be received on the sale of the lands belonging to 
this State, lying west of Pennsylvania, shall be, and remain a 
perpetual fund, for the purposes hereafter mentioned in this Act, 
to be loaned, or otherwise improved for those purposes as the 
General Assembly shall direct; and the interest arising therefrom, 
shall be, and hereby is appropriated to the support of Schools in 
the several Societies constituted, or which may be constituted by 
law, within certain local bounds within this State, to be kept ac- 
cording to the provisions of law, which shall from time to time 
be made, and to no other use or purpose whatsoever, except in the 
case, and under the circumstances hereafter mentioned in this Act. 

Be it further enacted. That the said interest as it shall become 
due from time to time, shall be paid over to the said Societies, in 
their capacity of School Societies, according to the list of polls 
and rateable Estate of such Societies respectively; which shall, 
when such payment shall be made, have been last perfected. 

Be it further enacted. That all the inhabitants living within 
the limits of the located Societies, who by law have or may have 
a right to vote in Town meetings, shall meet sometime in the 
month of October annually, in the way and manner prescribed in 
the statute, entitled "An Act for forming, ordering, and regulat- 
ing Societies," and being so met shall exercise the powers given 
in and by said Act, in organizing themselves, and in appointing 
the necessary officers, as therein directed for the year ensuing; 
and may transact any other business on the subject of schooling 
in general, and touching the monies hereby appropriated to their 
use, in particular, according to law; and shall have power to ad- 
journ from time to time as they shall think proper. 



Be it further enacted, That the inhabitants or members of the 
several rehgious Societies, Churches or Congregations aforesaid, 
who have right by law to vote in their respective meetings, on 
the subject of ministry, and the public worship of God, shall 
assemble themselves sometime in the month of December annu- 
ally, or at such other time as they shall judge convenient, and 
may organize themselves, and appoint the necessary officers as in 
said act is directed, all in the way and manner therein prescribed, 
with power to adjourn from time to time as they may think 
proper; and in any of their said meetings they shall have power 
to transact any business relating to the ministry and the public 
worship of God, according to law; but shall have no power to act 
on the subject of schooling; any law, usage, or custom, to the 
contrary notwithstanding. 

After sixty years, the existence of the society ceased by an act 
approved July i, 1856, "Providing for the transfer to Towns of 
the Duties and Powers of School Societies with regard to Schools." 

The bounds of the Second School Society in Granby coincided 
with the bounds of the Turkey Hills Ecclesiastical Society or 
Parish. This parish was situated in the east part of the town of 
Granby, except a strip one-half mile in width on the east side 
which lay in the town of Windsor. In 1854 the north part of 
Windsor, taking in the part included in the Second School Soci- 
ety of Granby, was incorporated as the town of Windsor Ixodes. 
Granby had been incorporated from Simsbury in 1786. On June 
2, 1858, the town of East Granby was incorporated from portions 
of Granby and Windsor Eocks with practically the same bound- 
aries as those of the former Second School Society of Granby. 
During the two years, 1856-1858, between the abohshing of the 
school society and the incorporation of the town of East Granby 
the school affairs of the parish had been managed by the town of 
Granby. 

Previous to the passage of the act of 1 795 all matters relating 
to public schools in Turkey Hills parish had been managed by 
the parish. In 1739, two years after the parish was organized, 



a school committee was first chosen, and from this time it is prob- 
able that a school or schools were regularly maintained in the 
parish, as a school committee was annually chosen. 

At the time these records begin the society was divided into 
seven school districts, known from their locations as the half mile, 
the middle, north, and south, east of the mountain, and the mid- 
dle, north, and south, west of the mountain. Later the half mile 
district was abolished and the others were designated by number 
in the order above given. 

In 1 741 a committee was chosen by the Turke}^ Hills parish to 
meet with the school committees of the other societies " to devid 
the Scool money in y'' Town of Simsbury," and from this time a 
tax for the support of schools was voted with more or less regu- 
larity at the annual parish meetings. 

The first dividend received by the school societies for the sup- 
port of schools under the act of 1795 from the income of the fund 
derived from the sale of western lands, better known as the ' 'school 
fund," was in March, 1799. From this time to and including 
iSig the income was annually divided according to the grand lists 
of the school societies. No enumeration of school children was 
made or required during these years. But this system of dividing 
the school money was manifestly unfair, and beginning in 1820 
the division was made upon a basis of the number of children 
between the ages of four and sixteen years enumerated in each 
school society. The number of children in the Second School 
Society of Granby and the amount received each year so far as 
these can be ascertained are given in the following table:

In the return for 1825 there was an omission of forty-seven 
children and a special grant was made by the General Assembly 
to cover the omission. Children were frequently enumerated both 
in the district where their parents resided and in the district where 
they (the children) were temporarily residing. A circular sent 
out in 1833 requesting that children be enumerated only in the 
district where their parents resided caused a falling off in the re- 
turns. The enumeration was made in August and the school 
money paid in two installments the October and March follow- 
ing; but in 1852 the law was changed so as to make the enumera- 
tion in January, so that no returns appear for that year. The 
returns given for 1857 are for the whole town of Granby. 

The following is taken from the report of the Commissioner 
of Common Schools for 1839: 

Abstract of returns made by school visitors respecting the dis- 
trict schools in the winter of 1838-9, Second School vSociety,

Another source of income available for the support of schools is 
the income of what is known as the " town deposit fund." This 
fund is a sum of money deposited by the United States, under an 
act of Congress approved June 23, 1836, with the treasurers of 
the several states and subject to recall. Connecticut passed an 
act depositing the money with the several towns in proportion 
to their population and upon the same conditions that it had 
been received from the United States. Some towns neglected to 
withdraw their proportion of the money but allowed it to remain 
with the state treasurer and annually received the income accru- 
ing upon it. Such was the policy pursued by the town of Granby 
whose fund was $7,019.26. When the town of East Granby was 
incorporated the town deposit fund money was divided according 
to the population and the new town's proportion was fixed at 
$2,083.84. This was allowed to remain with the state treasurer 
until 1892, when it was withdrawn and loaned to the town upon 
a note bearing five per cent, interest. Not more than one-half of 



the income of this fund might be appropriated for other purposes 
than the support of schools, but the Second School Society- of 
Granby and the town of East Granby always used the whole in- 
come for school purposes. 

The school-houses were built by and at the expense of the school 
district in which each is situated. The early custom of windows 
high above the floor is one that has survived in the majority of 
them to the present time. Inside, a desk slightly inclined and 
with a narrow level place at the top was attached to the wall and 
extended along three sides of the room. In front of this was a 
long form or bench without back on which the older pupils sat. 
They were thus seated facing the wall and with their backs to- 
wards the teacher. At times these pupils were allowed to turn 
about and sit facing the middle of the room. Inside of the bench 
or form on which the older pupils sat was another lower one which 
was occupied by the smaller children who were seated facing the 
center of the room. The children seated on this bench had no 
desks. In most, probably in all, of the sclioolhouses in this soci- 
ety the bench and desk for the larger scholars were on a platform 
raised two steps above the floor of the room. In such cases the 
lower step formed the bench or seat for the smaller scholars. This 
gave them the advantage of a back to their bench; but this ar- 
rangement also had one disadvantage for them. When the larger 
scholars sat facing the middle of the room each one was afforded 
ample opportunity to poke his toes into the back of the luckless 
child seated just in front of him. 

The teacher's desk, whose height made it necessary for the 
teacher to stand behind it or to sit upon a high stool or a raised 
platform, was near the fourth side of the room. Its hinged cover 
could be locked down to preserve its contents from inquisitive 
eyes and fingers. The fire-place was also located at this side of 
the room. The stove succeeded the fireplace before 1830, the 
change probably taking place during the decade previous. Later, 
within the memory of some now living, the long benches and 



desks were replaced b}' desks and benches suitable for two schol- 
ars and arranged in rows all facing the teacher's side of the room. 
The present writer can certify to the discomfort of these desks 
with their accompanj'ing narrow seats and straight, perpendicular 
backs. 

There is little to be learned about the books used or the studies 
pursued previous to the time covered by the memory of aged per- 
sons now living. We may, however, be certain that all of the 
scholars were well grounded in the essentials of " the three r's." 
reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic. The returns made by the school 
visitors of this society for the winter of 1838-9 show that the fol- 
lowing studies were taught, and show the number of authors whose 
books were used: spelling only one author, reading eleven au- 
thors, arithmetic four authors, geography five authors, history 
two authors, grammar one author, natural philosophy two au- 
thors, astronomy and chemistry, the last two being apparently 
taught without the use of text-books. Writing was of course 
also taught even if it was not dignified by being called a study; 
but no books were used. The teacher or "master" was forced 
to "set the copy" as well as make and mend the quill pens for 
the scholars. 

From an early period the catechism had been diligently studied 
in New England schools, and the children were usually called 
upon to repeat it at least once each week. The custom probably 
continued in Connecticut until the adoption of the state constitu- 
tion in 1818. Previous to that date in this society the children 
of parents belonging to other religious denominations than the 
congregational, or presbyterian as it was frequently called, were 
excused from ' ' saying the catechism ' ' with the other scholars. 
Repeating the catechism was kept up in this society until after 
1830, but its study and repetition was not then obligatory and 
probably had not been since 18 18. Saturday forenoon was the 
time then usually taken for this exercise, and only those who 
chose to do so took part in it. That famous httle book the 
New England Primer was the one from which the catechism 
was studied. 



Schools were in session daily during term time from Monda)' 
morning until Saturday noon, and it was not until about 1850 
that the Saturday forenoon session was discontinued. 

One committee which does not appear on the records was reg- 
ularly, though apparently informally, chosen in school society 
meetings until within the memory of some persons yet living. It 
generally consisted of two persons of whom the local doctor was 
usually one. Its name, " Itch and Louse Committee," sufficiently 
explains its duties. The members of this committee visited the 
schools at intervals and inspected the scholars. 

This volume of records was picked up in 1889 or 1890 by a well 
known local antiquarian and book collector, now deceased, in the 
Hartford Trust Company's building, Hartford, where it was found 
among the rubbish left in a recently vacated attorney's office. It 
was presented to me by its finder in 1893. The volume is made up 
as one signature of 46 leaves eight by thirteen inches in size with 
a stiff, marbled-paper cover. The records are contained on the 
first 42 pages, the remaining pages being blank.

The following is the survey and decision of Jeffrey O Phelps in 
regard to said line and in accordance with the request of Stad. 
Com. (?) 

In pursuance of the above agreement and appointment I met 
the Committees and agents of the i"' & 2'' School Societies in the 
Town of Granby at the House of Abraham Holcomb in said 
Granby on the 19"' day of September 1851 at 10 o'clock in the 



42 

forenoon and heard the parties with their evidence, & at the re- 
quest of the Committee of said first school society & by consent 
of both parties I adjourned the further hearing and examination 
of the same to the Second day of October 1851 at 9 o'clock fore- 
noon at the same place when I again met both parties and further 
heard them, and by consent of both parties I adjourned the further 
hearing of the same to the 3"' Day of said October at 9 o'clock 
forenoon at the same place when & where I again met the parties 
with their evidence Exhibits and Counsel, and I further adjourned 
the hearing to meet at the same place on the 13"' Day of said 
October at 9 o'clock forenoon & on said 13"' Day of October 185 1 
after having fully heard the parties with their Exhibits evidence 
and Counsel I did proceed to define and establish the Boundary 
Line between the 1^' & 2'' school societies in said Granb}^ as fol- 
lows (to Wit) Beginning on Granby South line at the mouth of 
Salmonbrook — thence running up on the West Bank of said Sal- 
monbrook to an Elm Tree standing on the Southwesterly side of 
said Brook — which Elm tree I marked with the Letter X on the 
southerly and northerly sides thereof — which Elm tree stands at 
the place where I find by the evidence the ancient path near 
where Cap' Holcomb formerly lived crossed said Salmonbrook — 
Said Elm tree stands above the Bridge over Salmonbrook near 
Abraham Holcombs — & Northerly of the Noah Holcomb House 
so called, — & from said Elm tree I so marked Northerly in a direct 
line to the Center of a large Rock on laud of Eev}^ Viets on the 
north side of the Highway Leading from Salmonbrook village 
to East Granby Church, which Rock stands about three Rods 
North of the aforesaid Higliwa}^ and about twenty Six rods 
westerly of the Center of the Rail road as now graded — From the 
Center of said Rock Northerly in a direct line to a Pile of stones 
I erected at a place called Jewett Hill — which pile of stones I so 
erected for a bound stand in the Crotch of the Road on said Jewett 
hill at the Northeast Corner of Henery Griffins Land — from the 
aforesaid bound on Jewett hill North g}4° East to the North line 
of the town of Granby and South line of Suffield— where I erected 
a stake and stones as bounds — said stake is a Chestnut stake 
scarfed on four sides and stands about 4 feet south of a White oak 
tree 

The aforesaid line from the mouth of the Salmonbrook on the 
dividing line between Simsbury and Granby to the North line of 
the town of Granby as above described I hereby settle define and 
P^stablish to be the dividing and Boundry Line between said First 
and Second School Societies in said Town of Granby
